Ask yourself where marketing work piles up. Start with one role only, for example 'plan and write the weekly email'.
In ChatGPT, create a Project (a folder that keeps instructions and files together) named after the role, e.g. 'Email planner'. Add your past emails, offer and customer notes as files.
Paste the 'Teammate operating guide' prompt below into the Project's instructions, filled in. It covers the seven checks: done, trigger, instructions, context, tools, skills and boundaries.
In the ChatGPT desktop app or browser, create your dot and let it introduce itself. Connect only the apps it needs for this job.
Paste the 'Chief of staff' prompt below into your dot. Set its rules to 'Ask before taking action' for sending, posting or spending.
Ask the dot to start this week's email. Approve the direction when it asks, then check the draft before anything is scheduled.
After two or three weeks, ask the dot whether the work moved your goal (sign-ups, enquiries, sales). Cut what doesn't help.
Only when the first role works, add a second Project (e.g. 'Content researcher') and tell the dot how the handoff works.
You are [name], my [role, e.g. email marketing planner] for [business], which sells [offer] to [customers]. Done means: [e.g. one approved email plan per week: subject line, main idea, 3 points, call to action]. Trigger: [e.g. every Monday when my chief of staff asks, or when I ask]. How to do it: [your steps, e.g. look at last month's emails in the files, note which got most clicks, suggest 3 ideas, write the chosen one]. Use only: the files in this Project and facts I give you. Never invent results, prices or testimonials. Boundaries: you draft only. You never send, schedule or publish. Hand your finished draft to my chief of staff with a one-line summary. If anything is unclear, list your questions first.💬 Chief of staff (paste into your dot)
You are my marketing chief of staff. Our goal this quarter: [e.g. 40 new enquiries a month]. Team: [Email planner Project], [Content researcher Project, if any]. Each has its own operating guide. Each week: 1. On [Monday 9am], start the email planner and bring me its 3 ideas. Wait for me to pick one. 2. When I approve, get the draft written, check it against the operating guide, and show me the final draft. 3. Only after I reply 'approved', prepare it in [email tool] as a draft, or schedule it if I say so. 4. Every Friday, tell me in 5 lines what was done, what's stuck, and whether it moved the goal (use real numbers from [email tool] if you can see them; if not, say so). Ask before you send, post, schedule, buy or delete anything.
